In short
Ring 4 is the leftover Oura with the wide size run (4–15), 7.9 × ~2.88 mm titanium, typically 5–8 days, and the same paid membership app as Ring 5. Buy it for extreme sizes or leftover price. Skip it if you fit 6–13 and want the smaller Ring 5, or if you will not pay membership.
Who it is for
- Buyers who need sizes 4–5 or 14–15, which Ring 5 does not sell.
- People who want leftover Ring 4 pricing while Oura still lists it.
- Existing Oura members — membership is account-tied and continues on Ring 4.
- Anyone who prefers the recessed 0.3 mm sensor dome vs Ring 5’s 0.7 mm dome.
Who should skip it
- Shoppers who fit 6–13 and want the smaller 6.09 × 2.28 mm Ring 5.
- Anyone who will not pay Oura Membership after the complimentary month.
- Buyers who specifically want Ring 4 Ceramic (zirconia, 3.51 mm, 5.1–8.1 g) — that is a different hub.
- People who need a no-subscription 10–14 day ring.
Key differentiators
- Widest current Oura size run: 4–15.
- Smart Sensing + recessed sensors; up to 7 days of onboard memory (vs 3 on Ring 5).
- Same membership feature list as Ring 5.
- Typically 5–8 days; charge typically 20–80 minutes.
Caveats
- Finish and size availability “may vary by current inventory” (Oura support, 18 June 2026). Date the store.
- Sizing kit is not the Ring 5 kit.
- No hands-on testing. Battery and Smart Sensing accuracy lines are Oura claims.
- Oura Ring is not a medical device (General FAQs / Product Safety, 2026).
- This environment can flip Oura geo. 2026-09-19: morning US-facing leftover from $349; one evening pull showed from €265.30; a later evening re-pull showed US dollars again (from $349); a 4:20 PM ET re-pull flipped /store to euros again (from €265.30); a ~4:45 PM ET re-pull showed US dollars again (from $349). US price cells stay on the same-day USD grid. Date the shop you opened.

Frequently asked questions
Is Ring 4 discontinued?
Not on the store we opened. Oura still lists Ring 4 and Ring 4 Ceramic. Support says availability varies by inventory — treat it as leftover, not as the current flagship.
Does Ring 4 need membership?
Yes, for full app function — same account-tied membership as Ring 5. Gen2 is the generation Oura says does not require membership.
Can I use a Ring 5 sizing kit?
No. Oura labels kits by generation. Ring 4 is 4–15; Ring 5 is 6–13 and “slightly different.”
Is Ceramic the same ring?
Same Smart Sensing, different shell: zirconia, 3.51 mm thick, 5.1–8.1 g. Do not reuse this hub’s 2.88 mm / 3.3–5.2 g cells for Ceramic.
